PS: Because the name of the character of the guard general Wang (Harmony) Danxu cannot be displayed normally in QQ reading, it will be renamed Wang Danxu in the future.

As soon as Fang Dongquan said this, everyone else showed surprise on their faces, what kind of place Longhua Town was, everyone present knew very well.

In the past year, the Ming army has been stationed there hundreds of guards all year round, and the guards of Tong'an Qianhu are stationed in Longhua Town.

Longhua Town is not only an important place for the Ming army to be stationed in the past year, but also the most important and even the only logistics base for the nearby Ming army

Now Fang Dongquan actually said that he was going to attack Longhua Town?

Seeing that everyone was puzzled and shocked, Fang Dongquan continued:

"Didn't our spies say earlier, most of the enemy troops in Longhua Town have entered the mountains, and there are only two hundred county warriors left, there are so many of us, and there are still guards here, there is great hope for fighting to take Longhua Town!"

"Once we take Longhua Town and burn their grain and grass, in order to preserve the retreat of the Ming army, they will definitely retreat back to Longhua Town, even if we can't take Longhua Town, but as long as we make this gesture, they must go out of the mountain to strengthen their defenses.

Therefore, as long as we attack Longhua Town, the Ming army must withdraw from the mountain, and then the foundation of our Datang in Huangzhu Mountain will be preserved! ”

At this time, Liu Bagou nodded slightly and said, "Surround Wei to save Zhao, this is a way!" ”

Qian Mengjiu also pondered for a moment and said: "Longhua Town is the granary of the Ming army, and it is the place where it must be saved. ”

Li Xuan looked at Fang Dongquan and secretly said in his heart, he didn't expect this Fang Dongquan to be so bold that he would say that he would attack Longhua Town.

This is something that Li Xuan himself dare not do!

Even if he didn't have any military talent, Li Xuan also knew that the status of Longhua Town was quite important, and the Ming army could not abandon it, and there would definitely be a large number of Ming troops there.

This attack on Longhua Town is a very large military risk in itself.

And the real reason why Li Xuan is even more worried, and even hasn't dared to make a move on Longhua Town, is not that he can't capture Longhua Town, but that he is afraid of a series of reactions caused by defeating Longhua Town!

What reaction? That is the Ming court shakes, and then mobilizes more Ming troops to encircle and suppress his Tang Dynasty!

Unlike Fang Dongquan, Liu Bagou, and Chen Butcher, who lacked knowledge, Li Xuan said that he also had the soul of a modern person, and he knew very well that if his Tang Dynasty was just making a small fight in the ravine, then at most it would attract the attention of the local government, and gathering hundreds of thousands of people to encircle and suppress it was basically the limit.

But if Longhua Town or even Zhengtai County is conquered, then the nature will be completely different, and the Ming army will not come one or two thousand, but thousands or even tens of thousands, and then the Tang Dynasty will be like a castle on the beach, and it will be finished in minutes.

This is like someone in later generations stupidly playing the emperor and founding the country with a few people in their own family, at most it will attract the suppression of the police station, but it is unlikely to attract the regular army or something.

But if you make a big fuss, for example, by gathering a group of foolish people to attack important targets such as government buildings and hospitals, then the army will drive tanks over in minutes, and you are awesome if you can survive five minutes under military fire!

Similarly, in the era of the Ming Dynasty, it was similar, your Tang Dynasty was amusing yourself in the ravine, and the local government of the Ming Dynasty treated you as a bandit at most, and they didn't bother to look at you with their eyes open, and they didn't come to beat you because you threatened the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but because the local officials wanted to make credit.

However, if the power of the Tang Dynasty grows and conquers a military town like Longhua Town, or even conquers Zhengtai County, it will really threaten the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the local government and county government are no longer able to make their own decisions, and they will 100% report to the political envoy and even to the Jingshi, after all, this kind of thing can leave a sentence or two in the official history.

When later generations look at the record of Zhengde, they may be able to see such a sentence: In forty years, Lear and his son plotted rebellion, and in March of the following year, Longhua and Zhengtai were trapped, and in April, the official army restored Longhua and Zhengtai, and those who rebelled were punished.

That is to say, if Longhua Town is hit, it is very likely to attract a large number of Ming troops, even if the Ming court does not send the central army down, the Weisu army of several surrounding prefectures and counties alone will be able to wipe out the Tang Dynasty 100%.

This is also an important reason why in the past half a year, the Tang Dynasty has always been threatened by the Ming army's entry into the mountains, and Li Xuan has never considered taking the initiative to attack the Ming army.

Therefore, when he heard Fang Dongquan say that he wanted to conquer Longhua Town, Li Xuan's first reaction was not to say how much benefit he would gain after taking Longhua Town, but to immediately think of how many people the Ming army would send to encircle and suppress his own Tang Dynasty.

Maybe when the time comes, 3,000 will be low-matched, and it is not uncommon for a medium match of 5,000 people, and it is even possible to send a luxury formation of 10,000 people.

In Li Xuan's eyes, this Longhua Town is a hornet's nest, and a bucket will cause great trouble to himself, and he will be stung to death if he is not careful.

But while he was pondering, the others were happily discussing the many benefits of conquering Longhua Town, such as explaining that the army would withdraw from the mountains, for example, there must be a lot of people in Longhua Town, and so on.

Seeing that everyone only saw Longhua Town, and limited their eyes to Zhengtai County, Li Xuan secretly sighed, it is not ordinary to lead this group of bandits to rebel!

Immediately coughed lightly, and after everyone's eyes turned to him, Li Xuan said slowly: "What if you take Longhua Town, cause the Ming court to shake, and cause the Ming army to send more people?" ”

Li Xuan didn't say directly, this Longhua Town is a hornet's nest, it can't be fought, and if it is beaten, it will make the Ming army jump to its feet, and then the big guys will be finished, he just put forward a hypothesis, and then let them think for themselves.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Xuan said this, the already lively scene calmed down at once, whether it was Fang Dongquan or Liu Bagou, although these people had less knowledge, they were not fools, they were so excited before because they didn't expect it.

Now that he was reminded by Li Xuan, he quickly reacted: Yes, what if they take Longhua Town and the Ming army sends more people to encircle and suppress them?

Now the Ming army has only come with 2,000 people, half of whom are still county warriors and people, so the Tang Dynasty is in crisis, what if the Ming army sends more people? Everyone has to die!

Don't doubt that there are so many people in the Ming army, even if it is just the guards of Xingquan Mansion itself and several surrounding provinces, you can casually get together thousands of regular troops to come out, and then pull in thousands of young and strong people, you can easily pull out an army of 10,000 people.

After everyone pondered for a long time, Wang Danxu, the commander of the Guards, took the lead in speaking: "The risk of attacking Longhua Town is still too great, but if we just make a gesture of attacking Longhua Town and lure the Ming army out of the mountains, then the impact will not be so great!" ”

Fang Dongquan also said: "Yes, there are also many people in Longhua Town, although most of them are county brave people, but it is also a trouble to really fight, it is better for us to pretend to fight Longhua Town, and when the Ming army comes out of the mountain, we will withdraw directly back to the mountain!" ”

"If they come back and forth like this, it is unlikely that they will enter the mountain again for at least a month, and if it takes a while longer, it will be almost summer, and it will be even more impossible for them to enter the mountain at that time!"

At this time, Butcher Chen said: "We can also beat some small villages outside the mountain and bring all those people back to Huangzhu Mountain, so that the harvest will not be much less than taking Longhua Town!" ”

Wang Danxu said: "Yes, the number of craftsmen in the surrounding villages will not be less than that in Longhua Town, we will bring these craftsmen back and build more and faster muskets." ”

As the commander of the Guards, Wang Danxu was naturally extremely concerned about the output of muskets. Some cold weapons such as swords and spears can still be captured from the Ming army, but there is no way to capture the arquebus, because the Ming army itself does not have this thing, they only have some extremely primitive handcuffs.

The arquebus had to be made himself, and craftsmen were needed to make muskets, so he was extremely concerned about how many craftsmen he could capture!

Listening to everyone's words, Li Xuan felt that this was a way to make a gesture of attacking Longhua Town, but not really attacking Longhua Town, so that the Ming army entering the mountain could feel threatened, and it would not cause a big shock to the Ming army.

You can also hit a dozen surrounding villages or something to increase the population of the Tang Dynasty.

He immediately said: "Since this is the case, then we will go out of the mountain tomorrow without further ado!" ”

As he spoke, he looked around at everyone present and said in a cautious tone: "But we went to fight Longhua Town, but we only besieged but not attacked, as soon as the Ming army came out of the mountain, we immediately retreated back to the mountain!" ”

Longhua Town is a hornet's nest, it's okay for you to pretend to poke a hornet's nest, but you can't really poke it, if you really poke it, be careful of being stung into a pig's head.

The Tang Dynasty as a grass-roots dynasty, the administrative efficiency is 'extremely high', a few bandit leaders went out to shout twice, basically everyone knew that tomorrow they were going out of the mountains to rob and rob, so everyone began to make various preparations one after another.

Early the next morning, the bandits of Huangzhu Mountain came out of the mountain in a mighty way, and this time they did not really take Longhua Town, the main purpose was to lure the main force of the Ming army out of the mountain.

Therefore, although there was no fanfare along the way, it was not deliberately hidden, and even let go of a few spies of the Ming army, just to let the spies of the Ming army report in time, and let the generals of the Ming army who led the team know that their Tang Heavenly Soldiers were going out of the mountain to attack Longhua Town, and they didn't want to be out of the back road as soon as possible.

The bandits in Huangzhushan set off, and they were still walking in the direction of the mountain, and the news was soon learned by Mr. Wu and Diao Leixun.

After Mr. Wu pondered for a moment, he said, "Not good! ’
